The object of the present invention4 is to a lock which yis `particularly designed ,for atv- -ptachment to pivoted reversible windows, `and which is so constructed that it may Abesecured in the stile of the window frame, where it isv hidden from view.fand fromv whence it may be projected into engagement with locking means on the sash to lock the sash. .5 3; f

' mechanism so as to increase its general ap.

rAfurther object of the invention is` gen'- erally to improve this class of sash locking plicability, durability.` and efficiency,

The invention consists of the parts and the construction and combination ofparts as hereinafterv more. fully A described and claimed, having'referenoe to the acco'r'npa'ny-` ing drawing, in whichi Figure 1 is a side elevation partly broken 'away and partly in section, showing the locking bar projected into locking position f with relation to the side rail ofthe window sash. Fig. 2 is a cross section of Fig. 1 on the line V--V. Fig. k3 is a similar-section on the line K+K, Fig. 1, showing the window casingfin position. Fig. 4 is a section on-the line Z-Z, Fig. 1.

Referring to the drawings, A indicates in general the stile of a window'frame in which a window B is pivotally (l mounted. The pivot member 2- is here shown as secured to the side rail of the window sash by screws 8, and is suitably journaled, as vshown at 4,* in a socket member 5, secured in the stile of f the window frame. The pivot member 2 may also be provided with suitable means, as the lock nut 6, for'the purpose of retaining the parts in relative position.

Slidably mountedin a longitudinal slot 7, cut or otherwise formed in the stile of the. window frame, isI a locking bar 8, which is so mounted that it may bey projected intoy a similar longitudinal slot 9 formed in the faceof the side rail of the sash. The position and movements of the locking bar 8 are controlled bv an eccentric- 10, mounted upon j the end of a horizontally disposed shaft 11 f 'j' E rmnsrfn.. nnGuINQ or sANrRANcisodcALrroRNrA."

Whellr applying. the: 1..lo-cking `mechanism here shown to nivotally mounted, reversible windows, it lfis desirableto allowthe slot 9, formedin the .side rail,,to extend `the whole ing bar of similar length tobe projected into engagementwmh .said; slot, when the slots reg1ster,wh1ch takes place-when the window hasa'ssumed the; closed position. This forms j a very substantial lock as it locks` the .whole'f side of the window. The slot 9 in the side rail of the sash.' is also;.providedl with cross bars 15, and the locking bar is shown as providedn with vh )l:sha] oed pocket lportions,1,6

which are adaptedY to be swung into engagement with the cross bars in the slot 9 to form apositive lock betweenthe side rail and .locking bar. The upperportions 17 of the pockets 16 are shown-as being cam-shaped and will, Vwhen thrown into engagementA with the cross bars, exert their pressure to draw the side rail into close contact with the stile of the window, thus making a tight joint between the sashl and window Irame and also preventing anyl rattling or vibration between the window and frame.

For the purpose of insuring a parallel and even movement of the locking bar, when this `is projected or retracted, Il have provided PatenteclSept.

the segmental slots 18 in the opposite ends .i l

of the bar through which ,the guide pins 19 project. The movement of the bar from the retracted position to the projected position, orvice versa, is controlled, as before stated, by the movement of the eccentric 10 and will, therefore, of necessity become an arcual movement, the-radius of which will depend upon the throw of the eccentric around the pivot shaft 11. This arcual movement allows the hook-shaped pockets to be thrown into and out of engagement with the cross bars 15 in they side rail, and also permits the segmental slots 18 toslide from one position to another on the guide pins 19.
